drenched deep in sadness falling into shadows salted water rising from the deepest ocean burning down the cheeks
softest feeling breaking inside drinking from the cup of darkness most painful of all emotions a broken heart
alone a nightmare the mind breaking fried sleepless shattering one dream howling from the soul gritting teeth at pain in this cruel world
the heart sinks towards hell a lonely Christmas light of love burning one candle searching space sending warmth through a prayer thanking him
stirring darkness into the light cold howling winds clouds within nightmares windows of dreams misted fingers drawing love tears
the deepest being that once saw a soft light smiled with happiness when it butterfly waltzed with every beat
dreams where so beautiful they where fairytales shooting stars where wishes granted my Christmas cried myself to sleep destiny filled with emotion feelings shadows loneliness in the horizon of my dreams

Hi, darkhorse555, One drenched deep in sadness moment flows howling from the soul through the poet's pen onto paper and, like tears, is followed by other powerful images of loneliness' despair. lonely this christmas is a magnificent poem and its sharing is a much-appreciated gift. Thank you for sharing.

Darkhorse a truly poignant wording of ones feelings of hurt and loss, we both going through a similar process so can understand the hurting we feel and yes being alone this time of year brings out our emotions and we feel this even more. Be safe, each of us will heal in time so all we can do for now is use our words.
Hi Liam, I can relate bro..I was alone with no lady company as well..It hurts when one is a romantic such as you and I..I think a lot of people besides me appreciate you being here..Just continue to write as it acts as a catharsis as such..Share your art..
darkhorse555, I have really appreciated all the comments you have made to my poems, I will miss your poems and your kind words. I am sorry for your Christmas, I hope you find better in 2014.

You are not alone with such feelings my friend. I haven't been able to write anything because life has been so bitter for me. But as Ken rightly said, keep on sharing your art. This was moving Liam.
I say the same to you Liam as I said to MM, just keep expression all those emotions on to the paper, a poets plight I call it. Leaving is not going to improve things, all the while you can write then do so, a sad but lovely poem. We wwho live on our emotions find it harder especially at so called special times of the year. Rob
mimzy god love you new endevours all it takes is love dear friend everything lights up even words dealing with things on my mind at the moment wishing on a beautiful dream just hope it comes true thank you dear friend for the very beautiful comment appreciated deeply wishing you a happy new year hope your wishes come true

Dearest Liam,
This is such a heartfelt poem, I feel for you.
Christmas and New Year is a time when many people feel lonely, it does pass... I know my words will not comfort you, or will you find comfort if you stop writing poetry. If you do not write, your soul will die, you must keep it alive with your beautiful poems that bring so much pleasure to us poets. Take a break by all means.
It is well known that writing Poetry has always been an outlet for feelings of loneliness; you may have a great poem in you just waiting to come out. Remember the greatest writers in history suffered from lonliness and depression. Many people do write better poetry when that ache of lonliness reaches deep into their soul.
ken dear friend looks like i will be here for a while as the sun smiles blushing pink the clouds the frog is returning smiling thank you for the wonderful comment appreciated deeply pal happy new year praying your wishes come true
thank you ever so much mm for the heartfelt comment i pray dear friend your wishses be granted happy new year

I hope you find new love in this new year DH and the next Christmas IS one full of cheers and not salty bitter tears. But if you don't and still feel lonely, please come to Vietnam, I'll help you find love in a foreign paradise.

This poem is filled with sadness. I'm so sorry you are so hurt. Wish I could say something to make it all better. Please don't stay away too long. I will miss you. Blessings & Peace, Pink.
darkhorse Good morning DH all of us get lonely. I get your poem. Sometimes loneliness it aches so bad you just want it to stop. You wish you had a pause button to let you have a break from the pain and emptiness. You reach out to other to talk to them yet no relief in site. The only thing that will help from loneliness caused by the heart is time. Do not rush it you must go through and that my friend i am sorry. I can tell you it get easier. Holidays are the loneliest time of the year. I got so depressed(lonely) this year i could not put up a tree, but i encouraged myself to attend some church and family functions. I pray you find peace somewhere somehow. Try something you would normally not do to pull you out of it. I have been told it works.
This is where i have been too...surrounded by people sometimes i feel the most alone...your an excellent poet and i dig reading your work...farewell MrDH...hope to still see ya from time to time..never give up.
